After a great deal of thought over the past few months, along with many difficult conversations, stress, and tears, we have made the incredibly hard decision to close Crumb & Play Colne.
This is not a decision we have come to lightly, and we are truly heartbroken to be sharing this news. We never imagined things would end this abruptly, and for that, we are deeply sorry.
Crumb & Play was our first baby. We have poured our hearts and souls into bringing it to life, and along the way we’ve learnt so much, from making coffee to navigating the world of business and everything in between.
Unfortunately, despite everything we’ve given and the challenges we’ve worked hard to overcome, we’ve reached a point where we simply cannot continue to sustain the business while also looking after our family.
What we created with Crumb & Play was so much more than a business, it was a community. A space filled with smiles, laughter, and truly special moments that we will never forget.
To every single person who walked through our doors, supported us, recommended us, or cheered us on, thank you so, so much. Your support has meant everything to us, and we will always be grateful.
A special thank you to our regulars, those we saw day in and day out. Watching your little ones grow, from pregnancy through to their early years, has been such a privilege. The chats we shared, full of laughter, sometimes tears, are moments we will deeply miss.
And to our incredible team and everyone who became part of our Crumb & Play family, you have made this journey what it was. We couldn’t have done it without you.
This is goodbye for now… but hopefully not forever. We will always hold onto the hope that one day we might return.
Keep an eye on our page as we will be selling off a bunch of our toys, will post about this further soon!
With all our love,
Nicole & Matt ❤️
